From Tuck's Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy:
This magazine began as a companion to Thrilling Wonder Stories and
Startling Stories, taking over the role of reprinting material from
the older Wonder Stories, etc. Such reprints had run regularly as
"Hall of Fame" stories in Startling since its inception. FSM
printed many original short stories. Most covers were painted by E. K.
Bergey and A. Schomburg. At one time in the early 1950's it was the best
selling of the Standard science fiction magazines. It ceased early in 1955
and was incorporated into Startling Stories.
